Magic Lanterns - Shame Shame (1968)
Музыка
The Magic Lanterns were an English pop rock group formed in Warrington, Lancashire. They formed in 1962 as The Sabres, playing locally in Manchester and changing their name a few years later. They signed to CBS Records after releasing the single, "Excuse Me Baby", which charted at #44 in the UK in 1966,[1] and a few singles later they put out an album, Lit Up. In 1968 they switched to Atlantic Records and released their first US hit, "Shame, Shame", which hit #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked on #3 on Canada's RPM Charts. "Shame Shame" was also released in the UK, on the short lived 'Camp' record label, as was "Melt All Your Troubles Away" the following year, but neither enjoyed any chart success. The single "Give Me Love" followed, as did a Stateside album. Changing record labels again in 1970 to Big Tree Records, a second album followed, but it would be their last.
They had two more minor hits in the US, "One Night Stand" (#74, 1971) and "Country Woman" (#88, 1972), but in early 1970, lead singer-songwriter Jimmy Bilsbury quit the group to co-found the Les Humphries Singers with bandleader/songwriter Les Humphries. Most of the other members left soon after Bilsbury's departure for careers in other fields. Songwriter Albert Hammond, however, went on to further renown, and bassist Mike "Oz" Osborne would spend several decades fighting the mistaken impression that Ozzy Osbourne had actually played in his early career with the Lanterns.
In 1972, the band released further singles on Polydor label in the UK, neither of which met with chart success. ~SOURCE: Wikipedia

It's scary to think of how many times I could listen to this on a loop w/o getting sick of it. Just a terrific sound.
I was in Walter Reed Army Hospital when this song came out I just got back from Vietnam and I was listening to the song man what a great tune
No purple hair, tattoos or nose rings. No protest signs or people staring into their phones. Just well-dressed kids having fun dancing to a great song. Huey Lewis said it best; It's hip to be square.
Am I the only gal that gets wistful when listening to this kick ass music? This is still the best music 60s early 70s!

I hear that
This became one of my Vietnam songs in late '68. Has always been one of favs ever since, for whatever reason. Just wish I knew all of the lyrics! I am an oldies junkie and lyrics are important to my enjoyment of music.

@@wilburtwilliger4219 it's not often I get the words right, but these are the words I heard, but didn't think they were right! LOL The only part I couldn't make out was right after "you called him up on your stage ????????????? Now I know! Thanks so much! It's always nice to know the exact words to a song. Most of the problems come from the way the songs were recorded in the studio. Most songs, the words are very clear. Have a nice Thanksgiving! Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 75!

Congrats! 😊
One of the best songs ever recorded for dancing. The song's got everything, a classic.
This should have been at least a top 10 national hit. It is one of my favorites from 1968.

@Nicola I turned 8 in October of '68, and now I wish I had asked my parents for this 45 as a birthday present. The thing is, I didn't hear the song on the radio at the time... It got very little airplay, and only reached #39 on the Billboard charts. 😊
I first heard this when I was in Vietnam. It's stuck with me all these years.
Love this Shame Shame incredible 1968 song! 🎵🎤🎶🎧
This is one of my favorite 60's songs! I was 16 when this song came out. I'm always amazed at how the orchestration is written into the raw song. I love when songs modulate up a half step also.
Love it....I was in 8th grade .......first time I heard it I said YES!!!! Great song 👍

@Kenna. I still don't recall ever hearing this song on the radio--Not even the Oldies Stations I used to listen to in the 80s and 90s played it. If they did it must've been rare. I discovered it on an actual Top 40 radio station tape, that was recorded in October of '68.
One of my favorites as a teenager back in the late 60s.
All the good looking clean cut young gals & guys are probably past 70 now!
They come into where I worked today, they had a reunion, bless them, lovely guys! 😊 so I thought I would check them out
Great great song have original 45...man I'm getting old!
